I forgot how much I love working with metal- just metal- dont get me wrong- I adore stones- they are like candy to me- I cant get enough- but something about working just with metal- you can beat the hell out of it- it doesnt chip- break- or crack- it doesnt fly off the workbench and dissapear into thin air. It just is what it is!
Pliable- even though it doesnt seem like it should be- shining up even after it looks like hell- forgiving in all manners- except when i melt gold- other than that...
Today I went back to metal and tried a new idea I was thinking up in bed early this morning. In place of stone, I would make cabs from etched metal and then set them like stones in bezels.
Came out super cool- rustic and earthy- just the way I like it!
Continuing on with metal...
I would love t o show you the rest, but this blog doesnt want to cooperate with my pics- so for now...

Wow, the gold really sets it off. As usual very cool designs!
Thank you! I do like it when I wander into uncharted territory!
